Compliments on your 1st Gen Tacoma

Hey guys! I was curious as to how often you get compliments on your Tacoma. If so, from who and where the most? Friends and family or more from random people? Around town or out off-roading? I'm interested because I've gotten a couple myself and It's completely stock. Just your typical 99' SRS extended cab 3.4 V6 stick and yet I've had a decent amount of people ask me if it was for sale. One of the cops in the town won't leave me alone about it . He pulls me over just to ask when I'm going to sell him the truck and to tell me how nice it is. Can't wait to see some answers.

I get them from time to time. Mainly that it's clean and that they like the stance.

 

I get them all the time from everyone...random people, friends, family members and co-workers. The funny thing is my truck isn't really all that special it's a mildly modified 03' Lunar Mist DC but everyone likes it. I guess it all comes down to most people know and respect the Tacoma for what it is..a die hard bullet proof truck.

 

x2 !

I've had a few guys say it's what they wanted, but not what they got.

 

I'm still waiting for one.......

 

definatly from a few friends on cleanliness, but I'm a few parts away from being totally stock and factory perfect...

then its on to the goodies!

 

no...
only one time, a week after I got it
A guy asked If I would sell it...
that is all

 

Yea I get compliments from friends and family from time to time, even one time my dad took my truck for a quick run to the grocery store and i was not there. He told me that a guy was offering 6K for my truck and my dad couldnt sell it cause its my truck. But that man wanted it. haha.

 

I get compliments from the guys with lawn mowers lol and a couple from my brother in law but he drives a 1st gen too. haha

 

I hardly get compliments but this one kid who hates me just got a Taco cause of me but his has a LT kit. I know wayyyy more about tacos then he does. And mines taller

 

Friend with green dc sonoma told me not to park next to him because it will make his truck look like crap.

had mine for a week... all stock

 

Usually when I'm filling up at the gas station. Guys would would come by and complement my truck. My wife appreciates that I do things for her with the truck, so she has accessorized the bed...with a spray-in liner, bed extender, tool box and solid fold-up cover. It is a truck, you know. Besides, little trucks with big tires look cute too. Oh yeah, good girls like the truck too.

Just the overall looks and that they can't believe it's a 13 year old truck.

 

Various friends and co workers and family members compliment my truck on occasion.
I was offered straight up trade for a new ('03) Taurus with all the bells and whistles for my plain jane base model '04 once.

Although I can't help but wonder if some of my compliments were coming from people who were used to seeing my driving my old caprice and liked the idea of my vehicle update. I'll just assume they think my truck is sexy.

 

Conpliments on how clean it is from all my buddies and fam, then I wrecked it and had two offers to buy it the next day. I will never sell it. When we go in the hills everyone wants to ride in the yota, cuz they know they will never have to get out and dig to get it unstuck.

 

I've had a cop pull up next to me and told me to lower my window and he was telling me how nice of trucks tacomas are and how he has one too

 

haha Nice! Tacoma saves the day

 

I had a old lady at the gas station tell me it was the prettiest truck she had seen lol

 

I get compliments from friends that ride with me and are surprised that I barely cracked 60k for a 2002
